Herbalife

Glad to see my employer isn't on the list.

I wonder why the remains have not closed up shop. Are they in denial the world has changed (and it's not going back?) Or is it because these are franchises owned by Russians? Or something else?

Update. Just saw more corporations are pulling out. McDonalds (No Fry Zone!), Coke, Pepsi, Starbucks... Shell stopped buying Russian oil, issues an apology

DevinVaughn : I think some are a franchise so it would make it harder to pull out. Herbalife is an MLM tho. But yeah some of those . . . and Starbucks, wtf Starbucks. It's so tough because it's like, you know just average Russians who have nothing to do with going to war are going to lose their jobs.

I mean, I think whatever the world has to do to tell Putin to stop is what we have to do.

but I still feel for the every day person

McDonalds is closing all their stores. Apparently Russians were lined up to try to get one last burger.

☆꧁Snow꧂☆ : Yeah, I saw the video of the lines! And they wait at night in cars in long lines for that last Mickey D fix. McDonalds said even though the stores are closing, they will continue to pay their 97,000 employees. OO

Honestly, I don't think they will ever reopen. I feel like a lot of people are in denial, just like when Covid started. Its all going to be different now. The Free World vs Authoritarian Dictatorships

Well we might become one of those authoritarian countries.

☆꧁Snow꧂☆ : true, I hope those in denial here have seen the light now. Need to pull this weed out by the roots. But I also strongly suspect putin was a big part of it. Without the Russian troll farm and putin funding, will these fascist fade back into the shadows?
